Championship Projections: Shiawassee County Championships

Due to the smaller size of this meet, what would normally be a rout for Corunna on the boys side becomes a little tougher.

Course

Corunna HS. “A flat course with numerous sharp turns. Two loops around the high school grounds is flat thru open fields and wood areas. Can be sloppy after a rain.”

Corunna’s 4th-7th boys are the determining factor making them the favorite. New Lothrop actually has a better average rating through 5 runners, but Corunna’s ability to pack up is a great advantage. In a smaller meet, this effect is a bit muted, but should be enough to pull off a team victory here.

Championship Projections: Thumb Area Championship

I’m shocked, this is the first projection this week with a real close team battle!

Course

Caro Golf Club. Rolling hills. Adjustment historically has been about 19 seconds. I expect that to be lower, probably in the 10-15 second range, but we’ll see how the times play out.
